My remark was meant to be tongue-in-cheek :)

The Gentoo devs take care of that. I presume they reuse what they can
from upstream... They do a lot of hard work (sometimes more work than
they have the manpower for, unfortunately). I remember, for example,
back in KDE 3.5 days they were already dividing the upstream KDE mega
packages (kde-games, kde-office) into individual packages, so you could
choose specific programs instead of 300 MB bundles.
